Trunks smiled, as he looked Gohan in the eye. He never thought that he would be battling Gohan. Gohan however did not seem pleased. Gohan looked at Trunks as if he were betraying a friend. No, Trunks just couldn't let the fact go that his father was gone, for good. Gohan was smart and could tell that Trunks would have troubles since they day he saw him at the Hospital. Trunks just didn't want to believe that he would miss such a heartless man. But deep down, Trunks knew that Gohan is right. Trunks knows how much pain he has suffered to his family and friends but just won't admit it. He's afraid and won't admit it.
"Well Trunks who is going to make the first movie? Shall I show you the big mistake you are making? Or are you choosing to find this out on your own. One way or another you are wasting my time and the time you could be spending on changing your life for the good. So what will it be? Trunks scowled.
"I know Gohan is right." Trunks thought. "But after all I have done… Will he ever forgive me? Will anyone forgive me? I've ruined my life. All because of father. It's all his fault!" Trunks covered his head with his hand and uneasily fell to his knees and shouted out to the sky.
"What have I done?? How much pain have I caused?? Will anyone forgive me? This is all your fault father!!" Gohan watched in horror, as it seemed Trunks was beginning to go crazy. "Should I…. I kill my self?? Will that stop the pain that I have caused? =If I do, I will not be here to cause anymore pain!" Gohan gasped.
"Trunks? What are you saying? What are you going to do?" Trunks looked at Gohan and looked at the sky. Gohan shook his head as tears built up in his eyes. "No… Trunks… Don't do it." Trunks shook his head.
"I have to do this Gohan, this is something that I have to do. Don't you see? I can finally realize it now. The reason I have been acting like this is because of my father. I never knew I could miss such a horrible man. But…. He is my father. Gohan, you might not understand why I must do this but I don't expect you to."
"Trunks, this is not a solution." Trunks smiled and reached for his sward.
"I don't expect you to understand. Thanks for letting me realize this Gohan; you're a true friend. Gohan closed his eyes hoping to wake up from a bad dream. It stated to rain. Gohan opened his eye and let the rain roll down his face. Trunks took his sward and looked at it. Trunks looked at his reflection. He could see tears rolling down his cheeks. Or were they just raindrops? The rain was so faint that no one would be able to tell. Gohan looked at Trunks.
"Silent tears…" Gohan thought as he looked at his friend stair into the weapon of his death. Trunks looked closer at that his sward that swore that he saw a glimpse of his dad looked at him and smile.
"Now I know I'm doing the right thing. He's waiting for me. I won't let him wait any longer." Gohan looked in confusion.
"Who's waiting for you Trunks? Is it your dad? Trunks shook his head.
"It's not only my father, it's also destiny. This is the way it's supposed to be. When I was born, God knew that I would die this way." Gohan came over to Trunks and stuck out his hand.
"If this is the way it is supposed to be, then this is they way it will be. I was hoping that it would not end like this, but unfortunately it has to. Well I wish you luck in the after life, and give my best to Vegeta. And if you see my dad, tell him that I love him ok? I think he already knows that, but tell him anyways." Trunks smiled and took Gohan's hand and shook it.
"Thanks for understanding Gohan. Goodbye. Gohan nodded and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Oh, and Gohan, please take my sward and place it where my father died ok? Please promises me what you will do that.
"I promises Trunks, now get this over with before I blast you myself! Trunks laughed. Trunks stepped back and held the swords tip to his chest. He gave one last look to his best friend and looked up at the sky.
"I'm coming… Father." Trunks pushed the sword has hard as he could through him and cringed. The pain was horrifying. Blood rolled onto his hands and dripped down onto the grass. All the times he had spent with Gohan, his mother and all his friends rushed through his mind. And then things started to get blurry d then there was nothing but blackness. He fell forward and hit the ground. Trunks let out his last breath and then fell motionless. Gohan walked over to him and knelt down beside him and bid him farewell.
Gohan sat beside Trunks for the rest of the day and watched him slowly fade away. At sundown, Gohan picked up Trunks' sward and took it to the place where Vegeta died. He planted it hard into the ground. He found a rock and took out his pocketknife and carved a little poem into it and set it by the sward.
As I watched you stand there underneath the rain,
I knew I'd never see my best friend again
As you took your sward and put it through you chest,
I knew you let your life go, you put your soul to rest.
My father is dead, and now you're gone as well,
I guess this is it, so I bid you my farewell.
~End~
